    Icon5 McCain takes pride in these people?






    One of the biggest problems with leadership is that sometimes people mistake strength of force as good leadership, when it in reality shows the opposite.

    Funnily enough, they don't run around calling McCain a terrorist or a symbol of evil.

    You have a source to show that somebody said this about McCain? I can wait.

    Some Obama supporters do just that, just as some McCain supporters and others say similar things about Obama. These people are like peas in the same pod, IOTW they are all near idiots and emotional reactionary nitwits, 'the sky is falling' types, rumor mongers etc.

    Yesterday I reas an article on Comcast or somewhere anyway, that staed statistics from a poll. Those statistics showed that perhaps 80% of the people that have an income of 1 to 10 million $$ are voting for Mccain, and surprisingly that 66% of those people with an income of more than 10 milion $$ are voting for Obama, plus the article explained the reasons for this. Very interesting.

    You know as well as I do that the Republican party was flooded with idiot racists almost 30 years ago, and the situation hasn't changed.

    There's a reason there's "no more" dixiecrats.
    And this has what to do with the original post? He said Mccain is "proud" of these people to which I replied to. Yeah of course there are racists in the GOP, and Im sure there are whacko ecoterrorist wannabes in the Democrat party as well...neither of which indicate the core supporter of Obama or Mccain.

    Go google Mccain and fascist, Im sure you'll find something or are you suggesting only the Mccain campaign has idiots who support him? Did you forget your original post and what you were asking does Mccain take "pride" in these people. The video takes Mccain's comments that he is proud of his supporters who attend his rally and then precedes to cut in video of some whackos sprewing racist comments. One has to be completely dense to believe that yes these were in fact the people Mccain was referring to.

    From parody websites? Yeah, I found plenty of results. A few million to be exact. Serious websites? Well, unless you call The Inquirer a serious magazine, then no.

    And as far as the rest of your post goes, until McCain is specific on who he's referring to, you're doing nothing but interpreting his comments for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he did take their side when he's not in the spotlight or on camera, but he never has bothered to denounce these people (except the woman who called him an Arab) on TV.

    True in many ways, although I would like to add that if the 2004 election taught us anything, it's that people never learn.

    When did morality of a president become important? When did the personal values become a deciding issue? Why do we bandy words about his or her religion or heritage in an insulting fashion?

    The United States was founded on the idea that people are free to choose what they want to be. It shouldn't matter if the person is Christian, Jewish, or Muslim (or even Pagan). It shouldn't matter if the person is white or black, German or French, a bachelor or a married man with 5 kids...

    And yet, the people say it does. Shows how much American society has downgraded itself.

    That has nothing to do with it. People look at the Republicans, they see BUSH. And everyone hates bush, so they think the Republicans are all like bush, which is untrue. Not every republican supports Bush, I know I don't. I'm just sick of it.

    In this election, it is quite relevant because race has become such an important issue to these people.

    I look back at the 2004 election, I hear the word "Republican", and I see both Bush and idiots. In this election, I see the same thing WITH McCain next to Bush (since he only showed up to 90% of the man's speeches).

    I think McCain could run the country, but run the country well? I have difficulty believing that, especially with an inept VP and a voting record that practically deserves a sign to be hung around its neck that reads "CONSERVATIVE BUSH SUPORTER".

    If any of the Republicans, I would have gone for Giuliani.

    As I said, what people say and do are completely different than what they really are like.
    Agreed. Thats why I'd be suspicious of Obama's ties to Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, etc, etc. He says one thing and his past (what can be dug up) says another.

    EDIT:

    For some emphasis

    Again, google is your friend. So is yourtube.

    Have you not seen those hitler youth like videos?

    Or the fact that many college students added "Hussien" as their middle name?

    Thats a cult of personality in my book.

    Good one.
